> GT6ers, in particular, may be interested in the current issue of Triumph
> World magazine.  There is a feature article on a Triumph GT6 that has been
> making speed runs at Bonneville.  I did not bring the issue to the shop

> from
> Arizona.  Their last trip registered 300 mph and was the fastest 
> 'sportscar'
> at the event.  They hope to hit 340 mph on the next trip.

> Exotic looking car, with major front end body modifications.  The rear end
> is classic GT6, with stabilizer fins added on each side where the rear
> fender bead goes.

> Copeland's story would make a good movie, in that he is the survivor of a
> massive salt flats crash in a 1950s Bocar years ago.  The incident put him
> out of commission for over a year, but did not dampen his need for speed.
> He's back at it, and in a Triumph GT6..

> I am not sure...maybe he is an FOT member.
